Winter's Eve 2022

Music for a chilly winter's evening with 26 tracks spanning 56 years from 1966 to 2022, and touches every decade in between.

This year's winter eve mix opens with a brief intro from "Snowy Mornin' Blues" by James P. Johnson from 1927. Some highlights include tracks featured in recent movies and TV shows, such as Cam Cole's "Mama" from "Ted Lasso," and "Sooner or Later" as heard in "The Tender Bar" & "How I Met Your Father," and 10cc's "The Things We Do For Love" from the final season of "After Life." The Beatles inclusion was inspired by the recent release of the "Get Back" sessions, and had to include Mitch Ryder's cover of "When You Were Mine" as featured in the 1980s ski-comedy classic "Hot Dog... The Movie."

New Woodside Lounge

Opened up the new Woodside Lounge yesterday. For those of you who have visited in the past, this room is at the front of the house but many times went unnoticed by visitors as it was closed off and used as storage. The new Woodside Lounge has its own TV, even though it's around the corner from the theater room. It just goes without saying, all lounges must have a TV for sporting events. I believe it's in the building code. Music is served up from the stereo system currently residing in the dining room, but I'm thinking of moving it to the Lounge. Today I went streakin'! Remember, use that sunblock out there. - Salud!

Another thing I like to do with the Summer Mix is incorporate the old alongside the new. I hate to put two old songs back to back, or should I say two songs from the same era back to back. Now as you look at my mix you'll see some old songs next to other old songs. I guess it's not a hard and fast rule for me, but I try to at least jump a decade between two old songs. Like last year I kept the sound effects to a minimum, using a mix I created of beach sounds for the opening and a crickets sound effect for ...
